War-zone Break Down

The M3

IntroductionM3 is the default standard tank for the game. It is well balanced in armour speed and fire power. This is the tank available for you to use when you first start your tanked journey! Although it looked weak, in the hand of skilled driver this tank will do wonders!
So... practice, practice & practice!

Combat Style / Strategy:
You need to be able to adapt to various circumstances.

Strengths:
Easy to drive & have decent amount of armour. Although it is slower than some of the other tanks, it makes shooting with M3 easier. You will need to practice on your shooting accuracy (not missing a single shot) and to shoot precisely at reloads. If you are able to master these two things you are on par with some of the fancier tanks such as M4, Skull & Dink. You have a chance to even beat a RTsoft as long as its not head to head. Panzer will be easy to beat as it has less armour than M3.

Don't be afraid of:Panzer: as it will only take you 3 hit to kill a panzer, this is the tank you should look for for an easy battle.

M4: from the latest update of M4, it is harder to kill a M4, but it is possible! Use similar tactics as fighting with a Spider.Spider: it will take 6 hits to kill a spider, but it also take a spider 6 Hits to kill a M3. When you are head to head with a spider, and he is charging at you, do not retreat unless he is using a shield. Its because spider is faster then M3. If you have mastered shooting with M3, battle it by driving sideways / around the opponent while shooting at it without missing a single shot. If you do that you have a good chance to win that battle.

Skull: it takes Skull 2 shots to kill a M3, but you can also easily kill a skull with 2 hits. If you see a skull going towards you, do not run as it is faster than you and you will probably get killed. It is better if you take your chances to shoot it down before it shoots you! I have played with different devices, although each different devices are different, use the crosshair in your screen to determine your tank shooting range, and this will determine when you should push that red fire button. This is the KEY to win a battle against a skull!

Tips and tricks
You made it! [Now to give you the extra bit that will give you the edge]

Best Map:Since M3 doesn't have any special fire-power or armour, Arena is the best map to play it with. There are plenty of walls to hide, while you shoot at your opponents. Use these walls as protection against the fancier tanks such as skull, m4, fatty, and RTS.Play smart by taking cover around these walls, and be cautious not to move to an open area as you will be the target of other tanks.

Best Mode:Team games, against various tanks.

Weaknesses:Ok, I may made it look that M3 is an excellent tank to use, but the reality is that it is the standard tank on the game. It has standard speed, armour, and fire power. But don't be discouraged, you can make a decent killing once you know how to use this tank.

Tanks to watch for:Fatty: if you see a fatty on team games, do not approach it! even if you have 3 shields, is it worth to throw away 3 shields to battle it?
1 vs 1, Fatty, Solo: Don't be afraid! you can actually win this battle, Fatty is slow, so collect all the crates and be patient. However do not try to fight it in "Hedge Maze", this in the one stage that is almost impossible to win against a fatty.

Love: I usually consider love tank as low priority left it alone, but you need to be aware of its position incase it shoots a beagle at you.RTsoft : Compared to M3 this tank has advantages in speed and firepower, but understanding it weakness will allow a M3 to win against a RTsoft. RTsoft actually has the same armour as a M3. Meaning it takes also 6 shots to take down a RTsoft. Head on it is hard to win, but if you catch a RTsoft off guard, it is actually possible to take it down.

Dink: Similar with a RTsoft, it takes 6 shot to take dink down, use similar approach against a dink. Dink shoots very fast therefore if possible do not fight it head to head, as their shots will stun you making the M3 harder to shoot.

Don't just tap that fire button rapidly! Aim at the enemy and only shoot if you are sure that it will hit the enemy, this will involve landing the first hit (see explanation about how to fight skull using the cross hair).

When you sneaks in, do not shoot the enemy while it is using its armour, shooting at it will make the enemy aware of your location.

Do not just drive your tank. The position & angle of how you drive the tank is also very important. imagine if you are hiding behind the wall but the enemy can see part of your tank body and shoot at you.

These tank driving position / angle is very useful when you are playing in Hedge Maze.

Learn the shield sounds, and you will know when the shields are about to end. Time it well and shoot a beagle at them!

Scout often, this is probably one of the most important tips that can improve your playing. Scout often by rotating your turret, knowing the position of the enemy is the key to getting a lot of kills. Eg By scouting, you can find several enemies and sneaks at them for easy kills.

Introduction
Thought by many to be one of the worst tank. Nothing can be further from the truth. Only a skilled conductor can handle the beast inside. This article will teach you the ins and outs to become a legend. They will never know what hit them.Combat Style: ScavengerStrengths:
It is the fastest tank. This allows it to get to more crates than the enemy tanks

Best Map:
Panzer is good in big maps for they allow it to run away from opponents, and to get crates with out being shot at. With that in mind the best Map in descending order are Town, Arena, Egypt, Circle.
Never play Panzer in Hedge Maze. It is a sure way to commit suicide.

Suggested Strategy:
The strategy all depends on the map, mode, and type of game you are playing (solo, teams). Do not play Hedge Maze, Mine Mania, or Beagle these are surely to end in you losing.

Tips:Try to play this tank in multiplayer and avoid solo if possible. If you are against a RT or a Fatty make sure you always use one shield to run away. Running away may seem counter intuitive, but you are saving your points to come back again. For there are many power ups you can get to before your enemy. Running away on your last powerup (Shield,or Health) will save you the game. By the time your opponent gets his/her 1st powerup you are already on your 2nd going on 3rd. We, armed with 2/3 powerups are now ready to take your opponent out for round 2. Do not worry if this takes a few rounds to take your opponent out. The point is you will win. Panzer requires a lot of skill this is not an easy tank to handle. It requires you to listen to the sounds of the game. The regeneration of crates, the enemy tanks taking power-ups Try to keep a count on your enemies power ups hence you know your limitations. Aim at the enemy tanks turret at all times. Circle your opponent. Back track while circling. This will disorient your opponent and he/she will have to accommodate. Read your opponent. Tanked in game is a lil like Gambling. You need to know what your opponent has based on his movements. Standing still? He is either full of himself and foolish or he has an ace up his sleeves. The deference between a great player and a good player is knowing the difference.

Weaknesses:
It does not turn well and staying put is not an option with this tank. The tanks health is also a problem. It can get killed relatively easily so playing a bit of touch and go is the only real option with this tank.

Best Mode:
Deathmatch. This is because starting with a shield will be the difference between life and immediate death. Another good mode will be Crate King. Hardcore on the other hand is possible, but you begin with a disadvantage. A panzer with out powerups is a sitting duck. There are tho modes that should be avoided entirely such as Beagle, and Mine Mania.

Other Tanks Fatty: This is actually your specialty. RT has a difficult time with Fatty, but not you. A shield and a beagle will do you just fine. Approach fatty at full speed if it turns to face you activate shield. Once on his person deploy beagle. Instant kill. I as a Panzer and Fatty user cannot say how many times people have allowed me as a Fatty to escape a beagle by firing. If you fire at a Fatty you give it a boost of speed away from the beagle. Do not Fire upon fatty when beagle is deployed. If you end up hitting it or not it does not matter. Run in the opposite direction and go get another crate for your next mission.

Skull: Skull, Skull, Skull.... A beast in its own right. Health wont work against a skull. A shield and 2 nicely aim shots will do nicely. Remember you are faster than Skull you can circle it before it knows what hit it. Perhaps shield wont even be necessary.

M3: Shouldn't be too much of a problem. 1 health or 2 max should cover it. No need to waste a shield on such a pest.

Panzer needs to avoid Skull, Fatty and RT. Skull can kill it in one shot so health is useless against one. Fatty can take a lot of hits and deals some serious damage. Rt is a well-rounded tank. A head on fight would be unwise.

Tanks to watch our forRt: Rt is your biggest foe. He has speed, he has strength, he has most likely an experienced player behind the wheel. I would suggest to avoid RT at all cost, but if you must engage a full healed rt try to do so only by touch and goes and with power ups to back you up.

M4: This is a slower tank. If you engage 2 hits will kill you. If you are wounded 1 hit will kill you. This is not a tank you can take lightly. Shields are a must. Find them. If you cant, run. Use your health and run till you have the proper tools to engage again.
Love: Stay away from the tank. It is a waste of your time to try to kill. You will end up loosing time and points and powerups. Let some one else loose because of this fight. If you must engage. Use beagle. Even so 1 beagle wont kill a love tank

Introduction
With a skilled driver, this tank will go to the upper echelons of the tanked world, while a poor driver will be rejected like scum, to roam the world of the whites/low greens.

This tank is the one I have used since I was 300 points. It has got me to pink, and I have no vision of changing it yet. If you can master it, this tank can destroy the opposition.

Strengths
This tank is powerful. One shot will cause a fair bit of damage. If you get one lucky shot through the hole in arena centre, or from edge of circle, you will make life a lot easier for you or your team. If it is damaged tank, you might even kill it. It isnít massively slow, like fatty. It has decent armour, same as M3 and RTSoft.

Weaknesses
The reload speed on the tank is the slowest in the game, but if used properly, this one drawback isnít enough to lose you the match!

Best map
M4 is good on all maps, but I personally think it is best on Egypt. This is because there are so many places from which you can shoot someone else when they are looking the other way. If they are in the pyramid, you can drive around the outside and take a shot at them. If you are in the pyramid you can poke out and shoot someone. If you behind the cube, you can rush and attack whenever anyone comes out of your side of the pyramid.

How to use the M4
With the M4 it is almost always crucial to get the first shot. This is true for M3, M4, Spider, and RTSoft. The best tactic is to circle other tanks, taking a shot every time you reload. I will explain in detail the strategy required for each tank later.

Best mode
I think the best mode is beagles. In hardcore, panzers run around getting shields, and can beat you. In beagles it is mostly down to angle and technique. Also, in beagles you have a crucial advantage over the fatty (as of recent adjustments). In other modes, you have to run around, get 2/3 crates, and use them all to beat fatty. In a large beagles map, you can run close behind the fatty, launch a beagle, and kill it. Another technique you can use in beagles mode with M4 is to launch a beagle at the tank, then start shooting them. They will instinctively back away from beagle, and try to turn away. In the time they are turning, you can have a free shot at them. Also, against lovetanks, fire a beagle, and one shot will kill them.

Mine mania is also good with M4, but that is not too relevant to the tank you are driving, more to the positioning of mines.

Tips: Make sure you fire exactly at reload. Practice in Beginner matches. This is essential.
Learn circling, if used correctly, it will really help.
Ask Wagwan or Noobie for help if you need it (not in the middle of a game please).
If you think I missed anything, Iíll go over it.

TanksM3 Stuart: With the M3, you have to get the first shot. Life would be easier if the M4 had exactly half reload speed, and exactly double firepower, but that isnít the case. The reload speed is just under half of the M3. What this means, is that if you shoot at the same time, you are going to lose that battle (assuming the M3 fires at the reloads of course). For this reason, not only do you have to shoot first, you have to have a margin of at least 0.5 Ė 1 second. The best way to do this is approach from back, or circle. When you first spawn on town map, this can be difficult, so just try to avoid M3 until you can attack from side/back. If this is not possible, then hope your opponent misses the cue!

Panzer: Panzers can be pesky little things. Although usually easy to beat, sometimes they run around getting crates, and attack you with a shield. The best scenario for them is town on hardcore. They take all the crates, you canít get any, and with their shields they come and kill you. There is nothing you can really do about them. Usually though, they are easy to kill. 2 shots will kill them.

M4 Sherman: Against another M4 it is CRUCIAL to get the first shot. If there are no crates in the equation, then whoever gets the first shot wins, simple as that! That is why, to minimalise risk, you need some crates. Healthís work good, as do shields. Beagles, maybe if you are close. Mines arenít much use. Make sure you fire the second reload ends.

Lovetank: Lovetanks are just plain annoying. Use a beagle if available, and one shot will kill it from there. Watch out though, they are fast, and if they have a beagle they can be dangerous. Otherwise, a crate isnít needed, but if you are damaged, then a health will do nicely against a lovetank.
Spider: Spider is the same as M3, but faster. If you are in arena, and they run behind a curved wall, then back away from the wall. They could emerge from either side, shooting at you. They also have a tendency to get crates first. Otherwise, same as M3.

The Skull: Skulls are my favourite. One shot kills them. Another reason why beagleís mode is good: skulls can do nothing against an M4. There are only 2 ways you can be killed by a skull. 1) They have a shield. 2) They attack from behind. Beagles mode extinguishes one of these methods. Be sure to exploit them as much as you can. Skulls are very strong against M3ís and panzers. If they (M3/panzer) are on your team, you could still lose. If you are in solo, they could kill all the M3ís and panzers and win. Look for the skull, and make as much use of the easy kill as possible.

The Fatty: Make no mistake, fatties are deadly. In order to stand a chance, you need to come prepared. The best combination is a shield and a beagle. Activate your shield, run at the fatty and let loose the beagle. Just a beagle works well too, but you might sustain damage. Otherwise you need at least two healths, or two shields. Fatty on deathmatch is very difficult. What you do it enter its range and take a shot. If he/she has a shield, heíll activate. You run away until it ends. You do the same again. In this way, it wonít have any shields. This will help you win. Whatever the case, be very wary of the fatty.

RTSoft tank: The RtsoftÖ A very dangerous tank. It takes three shots to kill the rtsoft. Just like the M3, but the firepower is much greater. With the RTSoft, you have to have the first shot, but not only that, you have to have had, or be close to, your second shot by the time it hits you. The best way to do this is to shoot from behind, then start circling in the same direction you see his turret moving. The aim is to maximise the time it takes for him to reach you. Preferably, have a shield or health handy. I canít say much else about the RTSoft.

Multiplayer/Teams

Skull

Introduction The Skull a constant reminder of how short lived life is. It is reminiscent of death itself. they say it spawned in the gapes of hell and was brought back to reap the living. Be careful for you will never know what hit you.
Suggested Strategy:
Always be sneaky have stealth hide behind certain objects and shoot them also try to stock up on a lot of shields because you never know when you could meet face to face with an rt or an m4 or fatty.

Best Map:
I think the best map for skull is Egypt, Arena and Circle lots of places to hide but hedge has a few places to hide but its easy to find them.

Best Mode:
I would say hardcore because in deathmatch say you have 1 shield but the other person have 3 or 2 they would beat you but in hardcore you could run around the map without attracting attention and I didn't choose beagles because if you were face to face with Dr they would just kill you since you don't have a shield and not crate king because you could get killed easily without getting crates but you can at least get a few kills.

Strengths:
I think the skull's strength is how much power and speed it has and the stealth I would find it one of the greatest tank I have ever drove and it is also a very sneaky tank

Strategy [M3: well you should get some crates just In case they have shields always try to shoot fast because sometime these people shoot really fast

Panzer: stock up on a few shields then head straight on and shoot first if they shoot first they would still die but you never know when an m3 or any tank could be behind you.

M4: Get as many shields and maybe 1 beagle or 2 mines you will have shields to protect you but say the M4 has 3 shields you only have 1 at that point you should put your mine down so set it then move your turret around to see if there are any kill you can get without moving much when you're shield is finished doing what it does quickly put down the other mine there will be a chance he or she will run over it. BOOM! :P

Love Tank: Stock up on maybe 1 shield a health and a beagle or a mine your choice so say the love tank have two shields you have one when your shield is finished the love tank has probably already used its second when the love tank shoots you back away then when you hardely have any life left use your health then say the Love tanks shield is finish you either set a mine so it can explode or you could use a Beagle and it will run right into it then you must shoot the love tank.

Spider: do the same thing as m3 since its kinda like the m3 just with more speed.

Skull: Hey look I'm being my brother ( or sister) Lol ok lets get started get a few shields you won't need health since the skull can kill you with one shot and you can get a beagle and maybe a mine say you see a skull from the distance let it come to you and saying uses a shield then you use a shield but always try to do that after he or she uses shield say you didn't use the shield last but first then when your shield is done either set a bomb or throw a Beagle usually he or she always run into them and its one of my secret little tricks but its out now Heh Heh.

Weakness Combat:
its weak to Rt M4 and Fatty its ok with skull as long as you shoot he or she first Lol and another weakness is that it doesn't have much armor once you've been spotted you're enemy is on you're tail chasing you so you have to not attract any attention.

Tips and TricksMissing Want this info? ask Dark to finish it in game.

Skull Article written by DarkHawk

Fatty: to kill fatty you should either sneak up or do combat same with all the other ones above ^^ if you do sneaking its pretty easy go from the side of the fatty and shoot twice he's dead for combat collect 1 shield 1 beagle 1 mine use the shield first anyway the fatty has one too then you set the mine and back away and since the fatty's speed is slow it should hit the mine if it doesn't use the beagle but be sure to be a little closer to the fatty so he can't dodge it easily.

Dink Tank: I've realized that the dink can kill you easily since its reload is so fast and it only needs 2 shoots to kill the skulls I think the rink have to shoot 3 or 4 times to kill the skull just a suggestion now back to the strategies so for the dink get a shield and do kinda the same for the m3 or sneak up on them.

RT: Uh Oh here comes the RT Lol so to win against the rt you must sneak up on them or you can use shields beagles or mines I usually use shield and when I face them off they don't have any so they die but you should get extra shields just in case

Introduction
Dink Tank is the tank you can only get by winning the 500 coin jackpot [Beagle-beagle-beagle]. Its armour and speed are the same as the m3. The only differance is that the fire power damge is low and the fireing rate is higher than all other tanks. this is a good tank. At the comand of a skilled driver the dink tank can and will dominate. just need to get used to this awesome tank.

To get control of this tank you need to know its limets plus its many streagths

Combat style and strategy:
you need to be abl to know the best moves and your opponets weaknes

This tank is a good tank fast rate of fire. so once again circleing the opponet or sneaking up on them is best. going head to head in this tank is ok it shoots fast making it hard for the other tank to shoot also puting them in shock.

Panzer is a faast tank that you can take out easyle due to its lack i amour just shot this tank for the kill

Spider dont be afraid just cuase its fast try and get the first shot on any tanks circle it to make it harder for them to hit you.

Love tank take this amor loaded tank is anoying the way to take it out is well just shoot it useing a beagle helps to take this tank down too.

M3 stuart is the basic tank everyone has it. shoot them from behind or from the side or maby even the front to surprise them. remember try and hit them with every shot taken.

Strengths:
this tank is slower than most tanks but not all (fatty) you need to work on geting all shots on target for the most sucses from this tank. the Dink can take on many tanks. Sneaking up on tankes or circleing them while making all shots on target will proble garente you a kill. this tank might not be able to go up against the top tankes (RTsoft or Fatty) but can easlt take out panzers,M3, sherman, love tank and skull.

Best Map:
the tank is slow like an m3. the best map would probly be circle or arena. Circle provides easy spots to sneak up on a opponet and take them down as well as hide and strike. Do not run from most tanks unless they have a shiled. get as many creats as psssible to help take out the opponet. arena is a fun map period. losts of places to hide and shoot your appont from behind remember all shots count. Also again circle your aponet to make it harder to shoot you.

Best Mode:
most modes are good for this tank playing teamed games are good it doesnt matter if your kill is stolen on teams cuase the kills count for the team. Beagles is a great mode to play also agaist most tanks
Now you know what to do here are some other tip's always know were your apponet is make sure you know what tank there useing always sneak up on enemy and cicle them for easy kills.
dont forget every shot counts

M4 sherman is a tank with high damage rate to take down this tank try and get first shot circle and kill them. also good if you have a shiled or a health to destroy the m4 sherman.

Skull tank you have agood chance of killing this monster. shooting them from behind or surprize them for a head on attake try and use a shiled.

Fatty beware this tank is deadly get as many creates as you can to take this tank down sneak up on it and circle it to take it down. having a shiled or health is great for fighting this tank.

8. Dink Tank is the same tank as yours so get first shot to take it down.

9.RTsoft Tank is one of the best tankes to own. Get the first shot on this tank and sneak up on it and circle it to take down this beast using a health or shield would help soo much

Introduction
When you have your first tank, the M3 Stuart and you see a new tank similar and faster than yours, you want to buy it immediately. Then you find out the price, and realise it is too expensive. You rationalize “Why do we choose such an expensive tank for such a small speed?”

The spider is an all-around tank like the M3 before it and the RT) You have extra speed to escape from danger which gives you a competitive advantage.
Representative’s Spider:

Strengths:
If you can easily control the M3, you can control the “new” M3 (Spider).
The Spider can beat M3, M4, Panzer, Skull, Lovetank and Dink, even though it’s hard to kill Fatty and Rtsoft.
With this wonderful tank, you can dodge in an instant a Beagle and escape, and catch items quickly.
Being well rounded it allows for it to adapt to an array of different situations.

Best Map:
In general, this tank can fight any tanks in any map.
In Arena, Egypt and Circle, you have a lot of items to catch, hide, and attack.

Tanks to pay attention to:Fatty it has good armor and power, but its slow. To engage it, you need at least two shields and must capture items.

Rtsoft tank -The Rtsoft tank is the first- or second-best tank. This tank can reload as fast as Spider, and has the same armor and speed, but its firepower hits harder than the Spider’s. To defeat it, you need one shield or life item.

Skull -You need two shots to kill it, but also it needs two shoots to kill you. If you miss, you will die. (Recommend 1 health. Used in this sequence. Shoot, Health, Shoot)

Combat style/strategies (In general):
Running around and charging head-first will result in more damage to your team and yourself. Read this text to prevent this from happening.

Principally, in a group, you need to work as a team. Each tank has strengths and weaknesses. The spider is a complete tank and it has the parts to support other tanks.
If working solo, with your speed, you need to capture items first, and then engage.

In a game, you will see different tanks, but you won’t have any idea how to defeat them. The following link will tell you how many shots you will need to take, in order to bring your enemy down ?

Strategies in each map:
In the Hedge Maze and Circle:
Look carefully to each side
Catch the item first
Help your teammates.
(Not recommended to fight Fatty either alone)
Listen for the sound of shields; this can indicate how much longer shields are going to last.

In Hedge Maze and Town, you need to work in teams if you don’t want to lose. In Town (Map), you have lots of space, and with this map you can’t hide. Therefore, you need to work in groups.

Best Mode: (Beagles, Hardcore, Crate King, Mine Mania, Deathmatch)
In general, this tank can fight other tanks in any mode. It depends on the user.

If you want to try lady luck give Hardcore, Crate King or Deathmatch a go. The crate will give you a shield, beagle, or life item.

If you don’t like to take chances and rely soly on skill try Beagles and Mine Mania. Mode Beagles contain only Beagles, and Mine Mania contains mines and the former.Weakness:
Because the tank is well rounded it has no real weakness. Weaknesses surge depending on the tank you are fighting. For example when against an RT or Fatty you realize that shields and life packs are unexpendable

Arena and Egypt:
Help your teammates
Hide around, and then attack from your hiding places
With your extra speed, you can get items faster
Watch the backs of your teammates
Don’t be scared to fight in groups
Give messages to your team, to prevent the enemy’s position (It’s hard to write during the battle, so you will need to go to a safe location).
Take control of the center (it is recommended that you have two shields in your possession).

Town:
In this map, all the advice given so far regarding the other maps applies here too. Because this map is large, you can’t hide, even though it is a combat melee. You can get Fatty easily if working in groups.

Introduction
The Love Tank is one of the least understood tanks in the game. I say that it is misunderstood because so many people dismiss it or do not use it to it greatest potential. In a nutshell the tank is a defender and is meant to draw attention and eventually die. Noticed that I said eventually. I say this because it takes a lot to kill a love tank and in the right hands...... you will be feared on the battle field but unfortunately, not appreciated.

Combat Style (few words)
In order to use a love tank you need to first concentrate and use its speed and shields to gather weapons. Once you have the weapons you charge into the battle and act as a shield to your teammates while killing anyone you makes the mistake of getting to close to you. As you drive by others enemy tanks; pop off a shot or two while moving. This will cause them to many times waste a shield or at least stop and look around. This makes it easier for your teammates to kill them later.

Best against which tanks
The love tank can go head to head with a panzer, and I have killed quite a few M4's that could not hit a moving target. Everyone else, you will need to use shields and cunning.Most tanks will fear you because they have a hard time killing you. Many fight back out of survival (and they generally will win) until they notice that they are surrounded by your fellow teammates. I have beaten fatties but you really need to stalk them and jump them from their blind side. The tanks I win most of the time against are those that chose to ignore you. These are the tanks that will not shoot at you because you are a waste of shells. These are also the tanks that will let you get really close to them. Ram them and pin them against the wall and hold them till your teammates get there, fire off a beagle, or my favorite, drop a mine in the direction they were traveling and run away from them. When they chase you (to teach you a lesson), they drive over the mine and it is all over but the crying.

WeaknessesThe weakness of the love is in its firepower. I have shot RT's over 20 times before they die. Shooting at another love tank is a waste of time unless they are harassing your teammates.

Strength
The strengths of a love tank lie in its shields and speed. While it is not as fast as a panzer, you can run one down if they have been previously shot. It generally will take multiple shots from most tanks but four shots from a skull will kill it. When it refreshes it goes to full strength so keep up with your life meter and refresh just before it hits bottom. Another strength is that it takes two beagles or land mines to kill it if it is at full strength. While you can (and most often will) chase a tanks all the way across a battle field be careful when they pick up a crate. If they stop, have your shields ready to deploy, they will normally fire off a beagle and you can resume chasing them again until they die or one of your teammates shoot them

Best MapsThe best map I have found for the love tank is the coliseum in regular or crate mode. Head right away to the center for crates regardless of who is around you. The idea is to get both crates and draw out the other team. As they waste their time shooting at you, your team mates have now snuck up behind them and they soon will be killed. When you respawn, keep moving and shoot on the fly while launching your beagle on one side of the column while shooting from the other. This will make the enemy watch you and not see the beagle coming from behind.

Best modes
Best mode is beagles. You have speed and can take a hit before dying. Drive hard to the enemy and get as close as you can ( I have been known to pin people against a wall). If you don't want to try the wall move, turn at a 60 degree angle right before you get to them. This will make them think for a second that they have you on the run. When they turn, fire off a beagle right in front of them. They will not have time to stop and they will drive right into it.

Worst Maps
Worst map for the love tank is the space station. The design is too head to head. What you can do however is shoot across the station, most tanks won't recognize you as a love tank and they will run out of range. Just keep firing as fast as you can. It does not make any difference you can't hit them, what you are doing is holding them there and creating a smoke shield so they cannot see your teammates approaching. I have on occasion held 2 m4's and a skull at bay while my team surrounded them.

Worst Modes
Worst mode is mines. You can use them as a weapon if you get close enough or let someone chase you. Best just to set them up everywhere and travel with a teammate to protect them.
Worst against which tanks
While everyone can kill a love tank eventually, a skull can do it in three shots. Best to avoid them head on and try to shoot them from behind.

Strategy
Best strategy is to charge full steam ahead. Gather up as many weapons as possible and drive in front of teammates that are about to die to allow them to escape. Try charging an opponent and then back away; they will chase you (not realizing you are leading them to your teammates or drawing out from cover). Never stop moving; learn to drive around opponents in a circle while firing at them. It drives them nuts and makes them run from you. Once they start running, you have them on the ropes.

Additional Tips
The best tip I can give is not for love tank drivers, it is for their teammates. When you see a love tank in battle don't sit there waiting to see if they kill someone. SHOOT! The love tank has limited firepower and your ONE SHOT may make the difference between their life or dying. They are distracting the other team so you can get into position to kill them. Finally, to panzer drivers; stop taking all the crates, love tanks do not do well without weapons.... try sharing!

What about other variables such as Speed, Maps, and Modes?
Speed involves strategy at times and knowing when to call it quits.
To answer this question I will give a breakdown of each individual Tank, Map, and Mode.
If played by an experienced player the results should be as follows:

1 on 1 what are the chances that my tank will win

You would think that the top chart would be enough to defer that, but truth be told there are a lot more elements @Play here.
The most obvious of which is reload. This is just looking at it through a brute force method.**Special thanks to Cutiepie83 , Sephiroth

Hedge Maze

Hedge is an interesting map. Not what I first imagined when I thought of a
green maze with no escape. The name may be misleading, but the map
means business. Map Size:2--4 Players

Markers
In any map it is necessary to know where you are at any given time for when you are killed the map will typically make you spawn in the opposite side of where your opponent lies (1v1). Even if it doesn't do that knowing what crates have been captured and which crates are about to engender are important for mere survival. In hedge maze this marker is the sun.

Start
Aim your turret at your opponent from the very moment you start. At the same time drive your tank towards the nearest crate. Right before your yellow cross sets its sights on the enemy tank fire. This will guarantee you the first shot.

Friendly mine. This type of mine can only kill you if you are in solo mode and you or your opponent fires a beagle at it while you are in the radius of the explosion. Mines can be set off by exploding vicinity.

Egypt was the center of economic, culture, and military influence the world
over. This holds true even in tanked. Dominate the center and you
influence others.

M3: get the first shot! if you get that extra shot in you will both shoot at the same time causing you both to die.

Panzer: get as many beagles and/or shields as you can. it you have a beagle that will make sure you win(if he doesn't see you first and use a shield or kills you first). shields will mean you will have plenty of time to kill him before the shield runs out. If you dont have anything you are pretty much screwed unless you sneak up behind him while he isn't looking.

M4: again get the first shot! by the time you are ready to fire your 3rd shot you are already dead. Getting a shield or health wouldn't hurt either.

Love: FOR TEAMS(because you shouldn't even be going against him in solo!). Get his attention and make him start shooting at you while your teammates come after him from the sides and rear.

Spider: pretty much the same as the m3 and m4. get the first shot!

Skull: use stealth. you can't face him head on because of your armour. Get behind him of beside him and take the shot the first chance you can get.

Fatty: go all out! it doesn't matter, you have the health and the fire power to make sure he dies!(your pretty much the only one)EDIT: it is recommended to have a shield to if possible.

Changing Your Tanked Password

Skid's Tavern - Rolls & Wins (Gambling)

Hey guys,
99% of the time when someone's Tanked account is "hacked" it's because they shared their password with someone, and the other 1% is because they used an easy to guess password.
A good password is a word (or two) + some numbers, like "apple6293" or something. A bad password is using your TankID, or something simple like "tank" or whatever.
Have a bad password and want to fix it?

(Mvp) Most Valuable Player. The player who
accumulates the most coins wins. Coins are
gathered by winning matches in solo or team.
Team matches give 1 coin for every win, while
solo matches five anywhere from 1-5 depending on how many players and if the win was not a landslide. Landslide victories usually give less coins and sometimes none at all.

Prizes

Skid's Tavern is the darkest pub in all of Tanked. Skid, a grizzly old man, awaits you there. Skids tavern is where fellow tanked players go to discuss ideas, battles, tanks and just about anything on their mind. If you are feeling lucky in skids tavern you can gamble tank coins to try and win more tank coins, the jackpot is 500 tank coins! In skids tavern you can pour a glass of beer, listen to the jukebox or just lay back and watch the world of tanked go by.

This is the only place you can obtain the infamous Dink tank.

These are the rolls you can make and the coins you can win from gambling coins in skids tavern.

If no player has scored at least 1 kill, the round isn't scored
Anyone who loses connection before the first point is scored isn't included in the end scoring math (won't lose points)
People who lose connection during gameplay keep their points, unless it's a 1 on 1 game at that point, which could've caused them to instantly win
Only one player can be 1st. It's impossible to tie for first because the server stops the game as soon as a player hits the goal-kill number. It is possible to tie in any other grouping. (second, third, etc)
In games with > 4 players, the second place player will also get some points instead of losing them. If too many people have tied for second place it won't though.

Not losing so much when fighting noobs

Ok, now if we left it at that, it's brutally unfair to high level players who play lower level players.

So there is a cap of 200 cp per player which combat points exceed 2,000. (Contributed by GraveSkull)So there is an additional rule at work to help with this: An average career point is calculated for all players, and if someone has more points than this, it is truncated to this amount for point loss calculations. (So if everyone has 20,000 points, it does nothing, if one player has 20,000 and 7 had 100, the 20,000 guy would actually be limited to 2,587 when calculating his loss)

It's possible to win 0 career points, and why

The winner is given the exact amount that is lost. That means if you beat seven players who all happen to have near-zero scores, you will win 0. Not fair, but this should be extremely rare. And means the career system can't be cheated by making a private room and killing friends over and over in fake matches to get points, as they soon will be drained of points making it meaningless
